About me

Ciao!

I am Claudia, I was born in Siena and grew up within its medieval walls, with the city center and its narrow alleys as my playground. My parents, and my grandparents before them, had a restaurant near the main square, Piazza del Campo, where I learned the importance of quality ingredients and where I met people from all around the world.

Later I majored in Communications and I even lived abroad for brief periods, but then I came back, moved to the hilly Sienese countryside, and, after a year and a half of studying, got my license as a touristic guide.

Since then I lead tours with people from all around the world and I am very proud of that.
I see myself as a storyteller more than a tour guide, therefore I work with small groups at a slow pace, no rush with plenty of time to observe details.​I am passionate about saints' stories, old legends and ancient churches. I also love walking and exploring the countryside therefore I am currently studying to became an hiking guide too.

Lives in: Siena

Speaks: English, Italian
